The year is 2626. When a deep-space expedition ends in a catastrophic crash on the planet Holla, the crew of the Wingspan must fight for survival in a world that shouldn't exist. Led by the battle-hardened Commander Black, the team-chemist John, botanist Chesley, specialist June, and biologist Mara-discovers that Holla is not the wasteland they expected. Instead, they find a world pulsing with sentient energy and ancient secrets. As the crew navigates hallucinogenic flora and metallic landscapes, they are assisted by Andrew, a mysterious floating sphere containing the memories of fallen stars. Their struggle for a way home takes a cosmic turn when they encounter Xyra, leader of the Hollans-a race that has transcended physical form to become a living neural network known as the Nexus. But a shadow looms over the galaxy: Monster Zero. Known to Earth's legends as King Ghidorah, this three-headed harbinger of chaos devours light and warps time itself. Now, Black and his team must make an impossible choice: use the Nexus's remaining energy to return to Earth or sacrifice their only way home to save the universe from total extinction. Combining hard science fiction with epic space opera, Raymond Bradley delivers a pulse-pounding tale of resilience, first contact, and the unbreakable threads that connect us across the stars.
